– 1970 Kadett Athena –
First model developed in-house by Kadett
After the brands beginnings with Sisten in the mid-60s, Kadett launched their first unique model in 1970 - the Athena sedan. Designed primarily for the domestic Korean market, the car was introduced to Europe in the early years of the decade. While not a full sales success, it laid the groundwork for later efforts by Kadett to conquer the market, such as the Club and Beat hatchbacks.
Present here is a 1972 GLS model, known as the Sport in certain markets. Main ways to distinguish the GLS are the plastic lip below the front bumper and exclusive white wheels, offered only from 1972 to 1974. It’s clean as hell, obviously, who would’ve expected anything else.
– 1994 Kadett Beatbuggy–
Incredibly rare, hideous and forcefully quirky convertible
Read more about the Beatbuggy here, if you haven’t already.
This 1994 Beatbuggy is equipped like most models were: yellow paint and white bumpers with the four spoke hubcaps on top. The car has belonged to an elderly lady, buying it brand-new from her local dealer until selling it in 2004 to a car collector. Having belonged to him ever since, this Beatbuggy looks like new - which is to say, terrible.
